4.0 out of 5 stars The Best of Christmas, October 8, 2004

By 

Christmas Girl (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Best of Christmas (Audio CD)

The Best of Christmas from Ernie Ford is still "The Star Carol". Oh that someone would remaster that classic album! This CD is very acceptable and has at least two (that I can remember) cuts from "The Star Carol": Adeste Fideles and Sleep, My Little Lord Jesus. I found the addition of the children's voices somewhat overpowering and a bit annoying at times, especially as all I wanted to hear was Ernie alone. I wonder if most cuts weren't from some TV special? Still, it's a very nice Christmas collection with most of the songs reflecting the Christian values of Jesus' birth.

Fuel 2000 Records presents "The Best of Christmas", featuring the beautiful baritone voice of Tennessee Ernie Ford, ringing strong and clear with dedication to a small babe wrapped in swaddling clothes...this collection gives an overview of carols and Christmas songs...with the Roger Wagner Chorale and arrangements setting the tone and mood of the Holiday season.

All of Ernie's Christmas recordings have become classics over the years...each track "AWAY IN A MANGER", "THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY" and SLEEP, MY LITTLE LORD JESUS", is a match made in heaven, they continue to inspire me every year at this time...his compassion and belief radiate from each song...you can tell that he really feels what he is singing, simply inspirational ~ this takes me back to the music I learned as a child, simplicity, richness and truth each song rekindles a flame within...close your eyes listen and join in with the spirit of Christmas...the Best of Christmas!
